Can we please get a few suggestions to where we can go for BIG carp in the Gauteng area.

 

I Know Donaldson hold a good few but where else can one go that is not to far for this.

BigDan this question has been asked many times with few responses. I think most of the venues used by most anglers have big fish. Catching them ...... thats another story!

100% Kosie. therer is more to it then just knowing the venue holds big carp, you actualy have to work to catch them and most of the time you have to fish through the small ones first.

Well then lets rephrase the question where is it safe enough to go that wont cost you a arm and a leg.

dont think anywhere is safe in South Africa, but at most venues if you go in a group you should be fine. so the best thing to do is get a fishing partner or two and do sessions togethere.

Yep thats the way to go these days, just go prepared, for fishing and defending! If I have to suggest venues based on your question above it would be Rietvlei and Laurentia. But be warned Rietvlei has A reputation for being one of the harder venues to fish. Laurentia dont have monsters as far as I know but you will have A reasonably good chance of catching above 10kg. How ever there are strict rules and regulations to be followed at this venue that upsets some anglers. I personally support the way Laurentia is run and wish more venues would adopt the method cause it makes for A safer venue with better than average fish and most important NO DAMDUIKERS!

Bigdan as jy monster Karps wil vang by venues wat verseker monster Karps in het en jy wil dit doen waar jy veilig sal wees moet/kan jy by SACS aansluit. Hulle het eksklusiewe venues met groot Karps in. Volg die link: http://www.sacarpsociety.co.za/

Daar is ook al baie gesê en gepraat oor SACS so jy kan 'n forum search doen om meer info te kry.

The photo in my avatar picture was caught in Rodeplaat at the NOORDTRANSVAAL  GRONDE. That is also a safe spot you won`t get robbed. I think it is R80 a night,but there is no power and no shower.

If you go there, there is also a sertain spot to be fishing at.
